DxDiag reveals 3D Memory problem

I ran DxDiag on my T61P (WinXP SP3, 2G ram) and under the Display Tab the DirectDraw Acceleration as well as the AGP Texture Acceleration buttons are greyed out.
Is this normal?
When I run the "Test Direct 3D" I get the following:
Direct3D 7 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8007000e (Out of memory)
Anyone come accross this?
TIA

Try this - Install the Intel chipset driver then reinstall the ATI driver.

Hi,
I DL'd both packages and applied them - no change.

You need NVIDIA driver not ATI driver. Also, you got to download last DirectX 9 update. I don't have any issue with my T61p doing those tests.

I have the NVIDIA driver, not the ATI.
I believe I have the latest version of DirectX:
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.5512 32bit Unicode
Is there a software setting someplace to turn on/off the 3D acceleration?
thanx

Dernier DirectX 9.23.1350 :

Quadro Driver 28 Apr 2008 v6.14.11.7471 :

Hardware acceleration must work *out of the box* only with Windows XP (fresh install) and Quadro driver (even without chipset driver and/or DirectX update).

Merci Pascal,
Thanx for your help. However, I DID have all latest drivers. I increased the pagefile memory and the problem went away.

Did you tweak pagefile memory before ? Windows XP works fine out of the box...

Yes, I did tweak - I had manually set the limit to, I think, 4G
